Langfuse SDK Patterns
Overview
Production-quality patterns for the Langfuse SDK: singleton clients, the observe wrapper, startActiveObservation for nested traces, session tracking, graceful shutdown, and error-safe tracing.
Prerequisites
Completed langfuse-install-auth setup
Understanding of async/await patterns
For v4+: @langfuse/tracing, @langfuse/otel, @opentelemetry/sdk-node
Instructions
Pattern 1: Singleton Client with Graceful Shutdown
import { LangfuseClient } from "@langfuse/client" ;
import { LangfuseSpanProcessor } from "@langfuse/otel" ;
import { NodeSDK } from "@opentelemetry/sdk-node" ;
let client : LangfuseClient | null = null ;
export function getLangfuseClient (LangfuseClient {
if (!client) {
client = new LangfuseClient ();
}
return client;
}
let sdk : NodeSDK | null = null ;
export function initTracing (
NodeSDK
if
new
NodeSDK
spanProcessors
new
LangfuseSpanProcessor
start
const
shutdown
async
await
shutdown
exit
0
on
"SIGTERM"
on
"SIGINT"
return
import { Langfuse } from "langfuse" ;
let instance : Langfuse | null = null ;
export function getLangfuse (Langfuse {
if (!instance) {
instance = new Langfuse ({
flushAt : 15 ,
flushInterval : 10000 ,
});
process.on ("beforeExit" , () => instance?.shutdownAsync ());
}
return instance;
}
Pattern 2: observe Wrapper for Existing Functions The observe wrapper is the most ergonomic way to add tracing. It wraps any function and auto-creates a span.
import { observe, updateActiveObservation } from "@langfuse/tracing" ;
const fetchUserProfile = observe (async (userId : string ) => {
updateActiveObservation ({ input : { userId } });
const profile = await db.users .findById (userId);
updateActiveObservation ({ output : { found : !!profile } });
return profile;
});
const summarize = observe (
{ name : "summarize-text" , asType : "generation" },
async (text : string ) => {
updateActiveObservation ({ model : "gpt-4o-mini" , input : text });
const result = await openai.chat .completions .create ({
model : "gpt-4o-mini" ,
messages : [{ role : "user" , content : `Summarize: ${text} ` }],
});
const output = result.choices [0 ].message .content ;
updateActiveObservation ({
output,
usage : {
promptTokens : result.usage ?.prompt_tokens ,
completionTokens : result.usage ?.completion_tokens ,
},
});
return output;
}
);
const pipeline = observe (async (userId : string ) => {
const profile = await fetchUserProfile (userId);
const summary = await summarize (profile.bio );
return { profile, summary };
});
Pattern 3: startActiveObservation for Inline Control Use when you need fine-grained control over observation lifecycle within a function:
import { startActiveObservation, updateActiveObservation } from "@langfuse/tracing" ;
async function processOrder (orderId : string return await startActiveObservation ("process-order" , async () => {
updateActiveObservation ({ input : { orderId } });
const validated = await startActiveObservation ("validate" , async () => {
const result = await validateOrder (orderId);
updateActiveObservation ({ output : { valid : result.valid } });
return result;
});
if (!validated.valid ) {
updateActiveObservation ({ output : { error : "validation failed" } });
return { success : false };
}
const description = await startActiveObservation (
{ name : "generate-confirmation" , asType : "generation" },
async () => {
updateActiveObservation ({ model : "gpt-4o-mini" });
const result = await generateConfirmation (orderId);
updateActiveObservation ({ output : result });
return result;
}
);
updateActiveObservation ({ output : { success : true } });
return { success : true , description };
});
}
Pattern 4: Session and User Tracking Link traces across conversation turns for user-level analytics:
await startActiveObservation ("chat-turn" , async () => {
updateActiveObservation ({
metadata : {
sessionId : "session-abc-123" ,
userId : "user-456" ,
},
});
await handleUserMessage (message);
});
const trace = langfuse.trace ({
name : "chat-turn" ,
sessionId : "session-abc-123" ,
userId : "user-456" ,
input : { message },
});
Pattern 5: Error-Safe Tracing Never let tracing failures break your application:
import { observe, updateActiveObservation } from "@langfuse/tracing" ;
const safeObserve = <T extends (...args : any []) => Promise <any >>(
name : string ,
fn : T
): T =>return (async (...args : Parameters <T>) => {
try {
return await observe ({ name }, async () => {
updateActiveObservation ({ input : args });
const result = await fn (...args);
updateActiveObservation ({ output : result });
return result;
})();
} catch (tracingError) {
console .warn (`Tracing error in ${name} :` , tracingError);
return fn (...args);
}
}) as T;
};
const processRequest = safeObserve ("process-request" , async (input : string ) => {
return await callLLM (input);
});
Pattern 6: Legacy v3 -- Always End Spans
const span = trace.span ({ name : "risky-operation" , input : data });
try {
const result = await riskyOperation (data);
span.end ({ output : result });
return result;
} catch (error) {
span.end ({ level : "ERROR" , statusMessage : String (error) });
throw error;
}
Anti-Patterns to Avoid Anti-Pattern Problem Correct Pattern new Langfuse() per requestMemory leaks, duplicate traces Singleton client Awaiting flush in hot path Adds latency to every request Background flush, shutdown handler Logging full request bodies Trace payloads too large Truncate/summarize inputs Missing .end() on spans (v3) Spans show "in progress" forever Use try/finally or observe wrapper Hardcoding API keys Security risk Environment variables only
